This is only partially true now. The surface laptop line has made huge strides in repair-ability. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/23/20929530/microsoft-surface-laptop-3-easy-open-up-repair-fix-ifixit-teardown https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/23/20929530/microsoft-surfa...
That being said, the surface pro, go, and book lines have yet to attain the same level of repair-ability.
- hypersoar 6y agoOh, you're right. I remember hearing that when it came out. I thought I'd looked through all the iFixit teardowns writing my post but missed the Laptop 3 one. They score it a 5. The battery is still glued down, though. Maybe they've made changes for the Book 3, but I would think they'd say something if they had. According to The Verge, it's the same design.
- skuthus 6y agoI hope they continue to make those changes. To your first point, I find it ridiculous when companies make devices with very little ability to repair.
